    The source code is available to you via the <a href="http://ottawacodecamp.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx">Downloads tab</a> and in release files (in the form of ZIP files).&nbsp; Locate the desired release, click it and CodePlex will start downloading the file to your machine for you to play with.&nbsp; Download into a staging area, then unzip it to your develoment directory structure in order for Visual Studio to see the entire solution and project.&nbsp; Otherwise, Visual Studio cannot open the other required files from the ZIP file.</p>

        <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx">Microsoft Virutal PC 2007</a> allows you to run a whole other computer (operating system and all it&#39;s programs) on your computer, without it affecting your own computer or it&#39;s setup!&nbsp; You run a program called Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/virtualpc/default.mspx">download</a>) then load up a file (yup, the whole computer is in that one file, and ya, if you guessed it&#39;s big, it is) and you&#39;re running the same environment the developer/presenter created for you.&nbsp; This is a great way to demonstrate SQL Server demonstrations and allow you to focus on what&#39;s going on instead of setting up a database with tables, users and permissions.

        Are you seeing the following error message?&nbsp; One or more projects in the solution could not be loaded for the following reason(s):&nbsp; The project file or web has been moved, renamed or is not on your computer.&nbsp; These projects will be labeled as unavailable in Solution Explorer....<br />
        <br />
        Chances are, you are trying to open up the solution file from the ZIP file.&nbsp; Visual Studio will get access to the solution (*.sln) file, but not the other files required to properly open the solution so you can look at it.&nbsp; In order to do this, you will have to copy the entire folder structure in the zip file to your development directory structure, then open the solution file again from there.&nbsp; This time, Visual Studio will be able to see the entire solution/project structure and you&#39;ll be able to play with the code.</td>
